what celery in food coloring experiment? I never got to do a celery and food coloring experiment. Now I feel left out! I may not be as special and unique and as much of a winner as everyone else!!
everyone seems to forget that there is this fancy thing called the SUN that does in fact emit radio waves across pretty well the entire spectrum. The only thing we ever did with them is modulate the frequency or the amplitude to produce a signal that can be translated back into information. We are not producing anything that does not already wash across the day side of the planet anyways.
Not really. Acidic soil, no water, no light, to hot(sterilizes seed), to cold(various things) all can contribute and prevent a seed from even germinating. This is how we store food seeds (that are not Monsanto products, which won't germinate for their own reasons). keep them in the dark, keep them cool, keep them dry, and they don't germinate in storage. Break those guidelines, and they germinate, produce heat, and either burn down the silo, or rot.
As if the poor are not all ready in crippling economic distress. What you mean is "Cause mild inconvenience to people who have to sell their spare learjet."
Seems like I remember reading about a few cameras out there now that use something like a 15 megapixel sensor and some fancy software to take three 5 megapixel images at the same time, making 1-click HDR possible?
also, I assume there is some sort of checksum business, like the check digit in barcodes. I know from fooling with QR codes at work with a sharpie that (in my experience) if you start filling in blocks in the lower right corner, you get a failure to read far faster than filling blocks anywhere else in the code, which leads me to assume that the check digit equivilent is in that region of the QRcode.
why? there are 10 hour long videos of looping nyancat on youtube, a guy who has a channel with nothing but videos of him silently smoking cigars, and all manner of mindlessly useless other content. I doubt YouTube would care at all if you make boring videos of QR codes.
I recall a program I found once that gave you a folder on your computer, and anything you put in it was split into appropriate sized.rar files, and attached to emails, and sent to your gmail account and stashed in a folder. Think Dropbox, only using gmail as storage. It was ugly, but it worked. Don't know if its still around.
The trick I found always works is to go look in the warehouse. If there was 'a whole lot of pillows', and now there is only 'sort of a lot', or maybe even 'only a few' then your sales went up. If on the other hand, there is 'just heaps of pillows everywhere' It means your customers are returning your product faster than you are shipping them out, and your business is about to fail, because seriously, who buys a pillow from a half hour infomercial? I'm saving my money for the Ginsu knife!
I always wondered why no one ever bothered to code a system that allowed two mice to be used at once. It would be helpful for various productivity software uses, as well as awesome for gaming, if implemented correctly. (one mouse aims, the other navigates, use mouse buttons on navigation mouse for run/walk, extra-button mouse enables more features like crouch, interact etc). I'd like to give playing that way a try anyways.
It looked to me that the waist band that keeps you from falling on your face like a tard was linked to orientation, but I could not tell for certain. IF it was, then strafing should be possible. (and, obviously, required to bring it to market for any decent game).
dunno about that, I've been motion sick in THAT simulation more times than I care to count. Hate when I get seated in a plane where I can't see outside.
did you know that the FDA allows a 20% margin for error in the reporting of caloric content? That is why you never see 127 Kcal in anything. Its always rounded to a nice comfortable factor of 10.
This means, the Mountain Dew may have as few as 232 Kcal, and the Gatorade may have as much as 156 Kcal, and there is no way to know for sure, without running your own assay on it.
Sure, that does not bring them quite together, but it still bothers me for some reason.
Indeed. I tried watching a friend of mine play through Half Life 2, and suffered terrible headaches and nausea for my troubles. Later when I played through myself, I had no problems of the sort. I've found that, at least with high end graphics, watching movement you are not in control of, from a field of view that is less than ideal, is a recipe for discomfort.
Still say its a latency and rendering issue. Quake 3 is simply cake for modern hardware to render, while Crysis on the other hand, is going to exhibit latency. If there is a delay between moving your head, and the stuff in front of your eyes moving accordingly, your going to get sick. This is probably the source of the problem in your example. So with Quake3, which can be rendered so easily that the hardware can keep up with your movements, the problem is nil, but with Crysis-esque graphics, it can't sync your movements with what it shows you. So you play games (like quake3) that don't cause sickness until the hardware improves to a state where you can play crysis level graphics with no latency issues.
the 'puke factor' is usually caused by latency between movement of the player and the corresponding movement onscreen. A lot of this has been fixed in the newer systems, simply by using better (faster refresh rate) screens, and much better computing hardware. All that said, some people are simply prone to motion sickness, and will avoid these systems like the plague. Also, ginger is a miracle drug for motion sickness. (just ask Alton Brown)
hell, why not, if you can overcome the vast hurdles in orbital mechanics and materials strengths needed to build a Dyson sphere, you probably are advanced enough to pretend to be dark matter, just to troll the less advanced civilizations of the galaxy.

which is why you just never update the firmware.
That's it! Fine! No one gets any more days off for anything! Your all equally screwed! That's what you get for complaining! Suffer in silence you!

That'll learn you to survive a zombie apocalypse. Next time, just die like everyone else.
Caffeine-free Diet Mountain Dew. For when your body is low on Yellow #5.
Yes. I'll get you a straw.

compared to the manufacturing process for tablets, smartphones, e-readers, Personal computers, batteries, et al? At least paper is easy to recycle.
... I forgot sarcasm does not work on the internet. I was agreeing with you, but thanks for the blistering review.

you need to read about Dyson spheres, and the trouble they have with orbital physics, a bit more.
